What's Your Most Recent NSV

I am back on Fitness Pal. Fell off track, some stressful times. Just started my journey back to health. So I did something extreme. I’m on a two week fast of bread, pasta, crackers, cookies, cake. One week done and 7 # lost. I sure miss my comfort foods, and find making healthy vegetable and fruit sides cumbersome…but I’m not starving. NSV I completed an entire week. One more week and I’ll slowly in control add some things back in.

I went to see the doctor today and my blood pressure is down enough that I didn't get admonished this time

Afterward I again looked at a list of suggestions for lowering one's blood pressure (a goal I've been working on), and I realized that I have literally all of them covered now: no alcohol, no added sugar, no caffeine, low sodium, using 50/50 sodium/potassium salt, working on lowering my stress level and starting to exercise. So the only thing left now is to keep losing weight. Feels good to be doing the right thing.

Put on pants today that I know fit perfectly a few weeks ago and realized by the time I got to work that I should have worn a belt with them.

Doctor is taking me off one of my blood pressure meds and cautiously taking me off my cholesterol medication (with the caveat that we monitor it with blood tests every 3 mo)

Several years ago I bought some beautiful Rifle Paper Co Keds. They never fit comfortably, so I never wore them. But they were so beautiful I couldn’t bear to get rid of them, so they’ve sat in the closet ever since.

Two or three months ago, my feet suddenly shrank. I’ve been noticing how long and narrow they look on my mat. They look so foreign now. It’s like someone else’s feet were surgically attached to me.

So this morning I put on a fun orange linen dress (an NSV in and of itself!) and thought “those flowery Keds would be awesome with this dress”.

They are and they now fit perfect and are comfortable!!

Took 1/2 of my bathing suits to good will today. Too big.

I wore these pants today and they fit comfortably!! YES!
I wore them with a safety pin two months ago when on vacation, and last month I still couldn't zip and close the button. Before vacation they was tight, uncomfortable. I am not weighing myself, and most of my clothes are stretch or large enough so I didn't really perceive a change.
So happy. I'll keep doing what I am doing.

I have been going to Inferno Hot Pilates classes 3 to 4 times per week. Last night in class for the first time I was able to do most of the jumping jacks and most of the burpees. In the past I jogged in place during the rounds of jumping jacks and for the burpees I walked through them instead of jumping out and in.

I actually have a lap now that my cat can sit on 🐈

I climbed a v5 yesterday. It was almost certainly mis-graded, but it was still nice to get. I have improved a bit over the last year, going from getting some v3s to getting most v3s and the odd v4.
